justerini & brooks tasting note

Lemons, citrus zest, fine slate crushed rock salt notes fill the nose in the Juffer Sonnenuhr Spatlese. The palate is refined and graceful, with lithe yellow fruit and white flowers to the fore, the blue grey slate of Juffer Sonnenuhr in the background for now. Wonderfully controlled.

critic reviews

89/100David Schildknecht,Vinous

This is looser in palate impression than the corresponding Niederberg Helden, but equally delicate and no less juicy. A musky, sweaty side of botrytis – albeit segueing into slight fermentative stink – comes to the fore in the nose, but the peachy fruit is purer than expected, and the finish refreshes and stimulates even as it caresses, with an undertone of set stone serving to remind us that we’re on the Mosel.

92+/100Stephan Reinhardt,Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2014 Juffer Sonnenuhr Riesling Spatlese (AP #11) offers clear, intense and very ripe, but still bright and healthy fruit on the nose. Sweet, piquant and very fine on the palate, this is a noble Spatlese with a stunning concentration, but a lovely raciness, as well as lingering salinity and mineral grip in the finish. Very young, but worth it to be aged for 15-25 years.
